    The intensity level of a sound wave is defined by an arbitrary scale. The zero of the scale is taken at the sound wave intensity

    A)  \[\text{1 }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ 1}{{\text{0}}^{\text{-10}}}\,\text{W}{{\text{m}}^{\text{-2}}}\]                   

    B) \[\text{1 }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ 1}{{\text{0}}^{\text{-12}}}\,\text{W}{{\text{m}}^{\text{-2}}}\]    

    C)  \[\text{1 }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ 1}{{\text{0}}^{\text{-14}}}\,\text{W}{{\text{m}}^{\text{-2}}}\]                   

    D)  \[\text{1 }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ 1}{{\text{0}}^{\text{-16}}}\,\text{W}{{\text{m}}^{\text{-2}}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    The minimum intensity that can be heard called threshold of hearing \[({{I}_{0}})={{10}^{-12}}W{{m}^{-2}}\]at \[1\,kHz.\]
